Age of Rebirth

At this moment, the U.S. wartime Supreme Command is already in chaos. Neither President Roosevelt nor General Jeffrey Jeffrey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could have imagined that the second army with high hopes, the four most combat-effective It is unimaginable that the division troops suffered such heavy losses just after landing on the battlefield of Hawaii Island. It was a huge blow to the hearts of the American people and the morale of the troops.

Within the Supreme Command, there was already a motion to impeach Lieutenant General Harrison. Those who advocated severe punishment should be sent to military courts, and those who were more moderate also advocated his removal from office. However, President Roosevelt resisted all opinions. On the grounds that it is not appropriate to change generals before the battle, Lieutenant General Harrison, who has no knowledge, will keep his current position. Otherwise, he will follow the Pacific Fleet and return to China for trial as a defeated general.

On the battlefield in the Eastern Pacific, the United States successively lost important islands such as Midway Island, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Johnston Island. The Japanese have built a network from the Japanese mainland to separate the islands in the Southwest Pacific and connect them with the American mainland. Blockade, if the Hawaiian Islands are lost, the Japanese have achieved a bridgehead to attack the mainland of the United States, and the flames of war will burn on the mainland of the United States without hesitation.

President Roosevelt, who has the eyes of a statesman, knows this clearly. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is well aware of the aggressive nature of the Japanese, and General Jeffrey, the chief of staff of the US Supreme Command during the war, knows this even more. Maybe In a short period of time, the Japanese are busy with the war in the Southwest Pacific and will not attack the mainland of the United States. However, once the Southwest Pacific War is over, no matter whether the Japanese win or the Americans themselves keep Luzon Island.

Unwilling to be lonely, the Japanese will definitely keep their blood-red and greedy eyes on the east coast of the United States. At that time, the United States will be forced to carry out homeland defense operations. Can the fragile psychology of the American people who have not experienced the baptism of World War I Neither President Roosevelt nor Admiral Jeffrey dared to bet against the fierce attack of the Japanese. [

The only way to prevent the flames of war from reaching the mainland is to keep the Hawaiian Islands, the gateway to the east coast. ·The call-up order was issued, and the third army was newly formed among the domestic reserve forces. However, the overall combat effectiveness of this third army was worse than that of the second army.

The Second Army is also composed of two standing divisions and two Marine Corps divisions as the backbone. But the Third Army has nothing. It is said to be reserve soldiers, but the situation of the domestic reserve forces. Admiral Jeffrey , I know very well that the flames of World War I did not reach the mainland of the United States. On the contrary, the United States made a fortune from the war. As a result, the American people have a weak awareness of homeland defense.

The mainstream folk belief has always been that, with the protection of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the American continent is a paradise away from the flames of war. The respect for the profession of soldiers is far less attractive than the envy of wealthy businessmen. The amount of soldiers, not to mention the reserve forces with no name, but there is no way, the flames of war in the Hawaiian Islands can only be extinguished with the lives of Americans!

The newly formed Third Army was obviously prepared for the Second Army when it was exhausted with the Japanese on the battlefield of the Hawaiian Islands. It was not until then that President Roosevelt qualified as General Jeffrey. Realizing how difficult it is for the United States to fight on two fronts, the most elite troops in the country are all in the European battlefield.

Not to mention that the distant water can't quench the near thirst, if transferred to the Asia-Pacific battlefield, what about the European battlefield?What would the British do? Without American troops in the European battlefield, without the continuous blood transfusion from the United States, under the fierce attack of the German army, the British might not be able to sustain it for a month. The two strategic directions of Europe and the Pacific are both Cannot give up, it is the fundamental interests of the United States!

Therefore, the U.S. military is already stretched to the limit in the use of troops, otherwise, it will not take out the rookies among the rookies, the reserve force, and form the third army. The focus of the Eastern Pacific battlefield is on the Hawaiian Islands battlefield. President Roosevelt and Admiral Jeffrey has already made up his mind to take human life to fill it in. As long as he can keep the Hawaiian Islands from falling into the hands of the Japanese, even if it is to use all the power of the country, he will not hesitate!

While forming the Third Army, Admiral Jeffrey, in accordance with President Roosevelt's instructions and at the request of Lieutenant General Harrison, ordered the Second, Third, Fifth, and Third Infantry under the Second Army assembled in Los Angeles The six or four divisions were urgently equipped with the newly developed "Sherman" heavy tanks, [-]mm caliber self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment.

At the same time, order the four infantry divisions of the Second Army to stand by day and night. Once the Pacific Fleet returns to the mainland, they can board the ship and sail to the battlefield of Hawaii Island. He pointed out the current difficult situation of Lieutenant General Harrison, but he found sadly that the army could no longer produce a decent fleet to escort the troop transport.

In the vast sea, with hundreds of troop carriers and no fleet escort of sufficient strength, the Japanese can easily send the second wave of the Second Army to the battlefield with more than 6 soldiers, as long as they dispatch a few hundred bombers. Buried on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, there is no way but to order the Pacific Fleet to rush back and forth.

For this crucial task of transporting troops, Admiral Jeffrey flew from Washington to Los Angeles to personally direct the troops to board the ship. He hurriedly rushed to Los Angeles, got off the warship, and the commander, Vice Admiral Fulwood, immediately saw Jeffrey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and chief of staff of the Supreme Command during the war, standing on the pier and surrounded by his entourage. Admiral.

Lieutenant General Fulwood hurriedly greeted him, "Hello Chief of Staff, Pacific Fleet Commander Fulwood led the fleet to come here, please give instructions to Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

Seeing Lieutenant General Fulwood, Admiral Jeffrey was very happy, and said: "General, you have worked hard. Let me talk about the situation on the battlefield of Hawaii Island alone." Then, he turned around and ordered the staff around him, "Follow the plan , the troops began to board the ship, immediately resupplied the fleet, after the troops boarded, immediately!"

Lieutenant General Fullwood frowned without showing any trace, and secretly slandered in his heart, "This is too anxious, after three days and three nights of rough seas, just landed, I couldn't even catch my breath, and it seemed like I was desperate Hurry back, can the sailors bear it?"

Admiral Jeffrey, that is a man who has become a master, Lieutenant General Fulwood is so narrow-minded, and he can still hide it from him, he said very apologetically: "General Fulwood, the front line is urgent, so we have to Thank you for your hard work, come on, right here, let’s talk about the situation on the Hawaiian Island battlefield!"

Two senior American generals were talking about the situation on the battlefield of Hawaii Island on the pier. On the left and right sides, there was an endless stream of soldiers boarding the ship silently. Lieutenant General Fulwood finished his report, and Jeff Admiral Phil nodded and said nothing. The situation was basically the same as Lieutenant General Harrison's report. It seemed that he was right to come to Los Angeles to supervise the battle!

However, Lieutenant General Fulwood refused to let the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff go. He asked: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, does the Supreme Command have a clear answer to my request to supplement the fleet's carrier-based aircraft?"

Admiral Jeffrey laughed loudly, and said: "General Fulwood, regarding your request, the Supreme Command has listed it as a top priority. When you return to the warship, you can see that there are quite a few of them. It is already being hoisted on the aircraft carrier!"

It took more than 6 American soldiers a whole night to board the ship one after another. At [-]:[-] am on July [-], they left the Los Angeles Naval Port and sailed to the vast Pacific Ocean. warship.

Standing on the deck of the flagship "McGold", Lieutenant General Fulwood looked very melancholy. His wife and two children had agreed to come to the pier to see him off, but he did not leave all night. The dock, and his wife and children are on their way to the Los Angeles military port at the moment. They are transferred from the Atlantic battlefield to the Pacific battlefield, and they don't have time to go home once. [

Counting, I haven't seen my family for seven or eight months. I imagined that my wife and two children, with tears in their eyes, stood on an empty pier, looking at the vast sea. General heaved a long sigh, but he soon lost the energy to miss his family, and the cumbersome affairs of the fleet took up all his time.

Lieutenant General Fullwood is very satisfied with the newly added carrier-based aircraft, both in terms of quantity and quality. He is proud of the strong national strength of the United States. Novices on the battlefield, if they judged well, they should be from the Air Force Reserve. Can such pilots have combat effectiveness when facing Japanese aircraft?

Lieutenant General Fullwood was full of worries about this. However, the Pacific Fleet was finally fully staffed. As long as a novice has experienced a few air battles and seen blood, he will grow into a qualified carrier-based aircraft pilot. Lieutenant General Alwood is full of hope, let's train with Japanese aircraft on the Hawaiian Islands!Before that, it is better not to encounter the Japanese navy fleet!

Two days later, the Pacific Fleet sailed into the waters that were one day and one night away from the Hawaiian Islands. On the deep seabed, more than a dozen submarines of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet were hanging behind the Pacific Fleet like ghosts.
